Top 10 Mediterranean food in Meknes, Meknes-Tafilalet Region, Morocco
Discover Restaurants offering the best Mediterranean food in Meknes, Meknes-Tafilalet Region, Morocco. Overlooked by many tourists, Meknes is a bustling modern city of nearly a million in northern Morocco, about 80 miles inland from the capital of Rabat. Local hero Moulay Ismail made Meknes Morocco's hub at the end of the 17th and beginning of the 18th centuries, and his mausoleum is one of the city's main attractions. The Museum of Moroccan Art (housing fascinating jewels and artifacts) and Bab Mansour (the largest and most stunning of the city's gates) are other Meknes sights not to be missed.

I am a well traveled 60+ female and I found this riad a complete surprise with its approach on delighting a Moroccan tourist. The riad has a clever layout with several areas to have solitude with ambience. The dinner and breakfast meal is included in the tariff and it satisfies the desire to leave Tajine, Moroccan salad, and brochettes behind but still the delight of enjoying the spice and flair of Moroccan's flavors for foodies.

We stumbled across this restaurant by chance as many cafe restaurants in this area are filled with men which is a little daunting for my (western) wife. The service and friendliness were excellent. The food was tasty and reasonably priced with good variety spanning from Italian to Japanese (very limited) as well as local cuisine. The host speaks basic English also. Don't forget to sign his review book which dates back to the nineties.

We arrived late in Meknes very late and found ourselves outside the shut doors of this restaurant. A local friend of the owner saw us and started shouting and knocking really loud to get them to re-open the place only for us. We couldn't really pick from the menu but we got excelllent tajine de poulet au prunes and we felt really welcome and cared for. We also had some amazing conversation with the old man who runs the shop, who gave us nice tips about the city and morocco in english.

You don't see the restaurant at first, but rather a display case of the meats and vegetables used in preparing the dishes. It sits sideways to the street. Once you walk past, the space opens up to a large room with fabric-covered walls, several tables and a large cabinet containing cookware and different dishes. An art collection of sorts.Abdul Fattah is the host. I stopped in one evening just for mint tea, and found him so engaging and excited about his restaurant that I had to give it a try. I'm glad I did.Between Englsih, Arabic and French, I managed to communicate that I was leaving the meal up to him. He only asked what kind of protein I preferred; I chose chicken. It was a chilly evening, so he started me off with harira, a Moroccan soup. And of course the obiquitous bread. Next, a Moroccan salad accompanied by small plates: an eggplant dish, a bean dish, one of peppers and one that was tomato-based.My chicken came in a beautiful tagine. It was, Abdul Fattah explained, a Berber dish. Delicious. The aroma when I opened it! A largish, juicy thigh. Just a hint of Moroccan lemon in there somewhere. The meal was topped off with - no surprise - mint tea. And a half an hour or so of enjoying the host's company and sharing laughter.

This is a face paced restaurant that is popular, but has service worked out perfectly. Busy, but you do not feel rushed. Offers good mint tea, delicious looking desserts, as well as traditional Moroccan food. One of the specialties was a seafood pizza, good thin crust and plenty of good and varied fish and shellfish toppings. Recommended for the food and reasonable prices.

I'm solo low-budget traveler. This is not a place, where you could stay usually, but I was lucky to be able to stay (I got it as a last resort place to stay, huh). I have to mention, that this is not ordinary place: very silent, stylish traditional moroccan-french environment (the landlady is french), food is nicely prepared and served, very minimalistic/essential only for those who wants to stay (as I mentioned - usually it is restaurant only). NOTE: place is very very particular: stylish (like museum for me), but very silent (might be bit uncomfortable for someone). If you want to have some moroccan show, better don't go here!!! But if you want silent, friendly, intimate environment - very very good place to go.Thanks Sabrina!
